Chapter 456: Interstellar Premiere (Part 2)

The Huaxia Theater in Los Angeles, located on Hollywood Boulevard, was founded in 1927. It is named after the appearance of Huaxia architecture. The bronze roof reaches into the sky, and the interior of the theater is also designed with the concept of Huaxia art.

The cement floor of the yard in front of the theater is covered with handprints and footprints of different sizes. This is the most famous landscape in Hollywood-the Star Courtyard.

This small courtyard is only 193 square feet, and 238 famous movie actors of different periods and styles have left their marks here.

In the theater, there were originally 2,258 seats, but after many internal layout reforms and changes, the use of new equipment and new technologies, the latest structure now has only 1,400 seats.

However, for "Interstellar", so many seats are enough for a grand premiere.

More than 200 special guests, more than 200 influential film critics invited from all over the world, plus 300 media reporters (with electronic equipment taken away), and 200 to 300 main creators of the crew, basically filled the huge theater.

At this moment, Wu Yuan was standing under the huge wall on the left side of Huaxia Theater, looking up at the photos hanging on the wall.

There were not only many large photos of the world's top performing stars hanging here, but the first one was a photo of a Peking Opera actor wearing traditional Chinese costumes.

Wu Yuan knew this person.

Mei Lanfang, the master of the Republic of China, performed here when he visited North America in 1930 and caused a sensation!

"Director, everyone is seated, the premiere can begin." A staff member stepped forward and interrupted Wu Yuan's observation of his predecessors.

Retracting his gaze, Wu Yuan nodded and walked quickly to the front desk.

This year, Huaxia Theater was renovated again, replaced with the latest IMAX giant screen, and added a 3D projector.

Standing under the IMAX giant screen, Wu Yuan raised his head and waved, and the creators of "Interstellar" followed him to the front of the stage, facing all the guests and friends who came to attend the premiere.

Wu Yuan was all smiles, holding the microphone in one hand and waving his other hand to greet everyone: "Good afternoon, dear guests, friends, and media reporters."

"Welcome everyone to the global premiere of our "Interstellar."

"Are you ready to experience an IMAX 3D sci-fi journey?"

Wu Yuan has always disliked complaining and selling misery at premieres, although "Interstellar" is indeed the most tiring, hardest, and most complicated movie he has made in all these years, surpassing "Gravity".

But he still chose to skip all the difficulties behind it.

What else is there to be dissatisfied with and complain about if you can spend $200 million to make a movie?

If you don't do it, there are plenty of people rushing to do it!

So he just thanked Anne Hathaway, Mads Mikkelsen and other leading actors for joining, and praised their wonderful performances in the movie.

Especially Mads Mikkelsen, because he is the least famous, Wu Yuan praised him and talked about his difficulties, which made Mads Mikkelsen wave his hands repeatedly on the stage, feeling very embarrassed.

"In short, I know that many media friends have been talking about Mads Mikkelsen becoming the male lead since the start of "Interstellar" until today, and there are endless doubts and voices of disappointment."

"But please believe me, Mads is a very good actor and the most suitable actor for "Interstellar". I believe that after today, your doubts will never appear again."

"And Mads Mikkelsen will also become an actor who makes a sensation around the world."

Wu Yuan's smile remained unchanged, but he thought with a bad taste in his heart, if Mads Mikkelsen became a big hit with "Interstellar", would he still have the opportunity to participate in "The Hunt"?

I'm afraid that the small Danish crew of "The Hunt" can't afford the salary to invite Mads Mikkelsen, right?

Life is such a wonderful thing. Mads Mikkelsen got the benefits of "Interstellar" and may also lose the honor of "The Hunt".

If Mads Mikkelsen knew this, I don't know what he would choose.

After Wu Yuan's brief speech, Anne Hathaway, Liu Yifei, and Mads Mikkelsen also talked about their thoughts on the premiere one after another.

Everyone carried the flowery sedan chair.

Wu Yuan praised them generously and did not mention the difficulties and difficulties when he filmed "Interstellar".

When it came to Anne Hathaway and others, of course, they praised Wu Yuan's high directing level, how dedicated and responsible he was in the crew, how he was the first to arrive on the set every day, and the last to leave, and stayed up late at night to watch the materials...

The premiere is a process where colleagues in the crew flatter each other and tell each other how difficult it was for each other to make this movie, hoping that everyone will support it.

The guests at the scene have also participated in countless movie premieres, and they are familiar with this set of things, and they smiled skillfully at the "performance" of the "Interstellar" crew.

Fortunately, the speech session did not take long. After ten minutes, when everyone had expressed their feelings, Wu Yuan took the microphone back again.

"Then, I won't say anything else."

"Let's enjoy this movie that took a year and a half to make!"

The lights in the Huaxia Theater dimmed immediately after Wu Yuan finished speaking.

Taking advantage of the ten seconds of the projector starting up, Wu Yuan led the main creators of the crew and hurried back to the first row of seats.

As soon as they sat down, James Cameron, who was sitting in the middle of the second row behind Wu Yuan, came up and whispered beside Wu Yuan: "Daniel, congratulations."

"Thank you." Wu Yuan nodded reservedly: "I hope you like this movie."

"I think so." Cameron nodded with a smile.

A true IMAX 3D movie, and it was shot by Wu Yuan, who has proven himself in the field of commercial science fiction films.

Cameron had no reason to think that this would be a bad movie that was not up to standard.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-"

Just as the two of them talked for a few words, the super-large IMAX 3D screen had already lit up, and the logos of Light Age, Paramount, and Universal Pictures appeared on the screen one after another, and then disappeared.

All the guests and audiences sitting on the scene picked up the 3D glasses that the staff had distributed when they entered the venue just now, and put them on solemnly.

Although this was only the second IMAX 3D movie, everyone was already familiar with how to watch 3D movies.

A close-up of a bookshelf slowly appeared on the big screen.

Among the stacked books on the bookshelf, there was a somewhat old and mottled model of a spaceship.

Because the camera was gradually zoomed in at an oblique angle, the audience wearing 3D glasses suddenly felt like a three-dimensional spaceship was slowly approaching them.

"INTERSTELLAR"

(Interstellar)

The title of the movie lit up and then disappeared.

A blonde, blue-eyed, old-looking grandmother appeared on the screen and began to tell the story of her father... (End of this chapter)
